One lower sixth form student achieved perfect marks in her AS religious philosophy exam – but plans on dropping the subject.
Ezgi Aldemir, 17, was getting in some practice ahead of her A-levels next year and when she opened her results at Truro High School for Girls in Truro, Cornwall she discovered she had not dropped a single mark.
But she is giving up religious philosophy to continue with her strongest subjects of biology, chemistry and maths to A-level.
“I’m so happy I could almost scream. I want to study medicine at university so the work I have done on ethics has given me a fantastic foundation for the studies that lie ahead,” she said.
Meanwhile at the school, one student who was unable to pick up her results in person was 18-year-old Rosalind Williams.
Miss Williams picked up A*s in English, maths and physics as well as an A grade in Latin.
After completing her exams she set herself the challenge of learning to speak German fluently and she is currently working in Hamburg for a month.
The teenager plans on spending the next 12 months travelling and teaching English abroad before applying to university.
